Cottage in the heart of Périgord near Brantôme, Angoulême, Périgueux

A beautiful property situated in a quiet rural area. We were met by Marc and Pascale on arrival who answered questions and gave advice. Facilities within the gite were perfect for our needs as a family of nine.

Our party of six adults and three children have just spent a fabulous fortnight at this rural location. This roomy property is set in a quiet, little hamlet and benefits from a spacious garden and a magnificent heated swimming pool - the pool has a limited depth of 1.3m which made it very safe for the three young children in our party. The house is provided with many facilities and has the luxury of a dishwasher. This area of The Dordogne is beautiful and local towns and supermarkets are just a short drive away. A big thank you to the owners, Marc and Pascale, who were extremely helpful and very welcoming. We would highly recommend this property. John, Lynne and family from England.

We are a family of five; our children's ages are 15, 12 and 7. We stayed in August 2016 and we thoroughly enjoyed a most relaxed stay in this property. Our children enjoyed the spacious garden, the table tennis and the lovely heated swimming pool. The property is situated in a splendid part of the beautiful Dordogne complete with Sunshine, great food, sight-seeing, canoeing and a few family trips to the local towns for some light retail therapy, made during busy market days. Our hosts had everything arranged prior to our arrival. We found their unobtrusive attention to our needs to be just perfect. Graham and Caroline, from Chichester, England.

Although a little difficult to find, this is a beautiful and peaceful house. The pool is large and worked really well for us, we were 4 adults and 4 children aged between 4-9. Plenty of garden space for the kids to run around and a lovely BBQ area. A couple of disappointments, firstly I must point out that some of the pictures online are not that accurate or at least for us. The main picture looking back at the house from the pool you will see a door opposite the pool with wooden shutters, this is not part of the house that belongs to you but the owners, they don't use this entrance but you could be lead to believe by the promo pictures that this is your entrance / exit and how lovely it is to have a door opening onto the pool area but this is not the case, when we arrived and met the owners, we were told that the AC was not working. luckily the temp had dropped to around 28 for the 2 weeks we stayed but on a couple of nights it was very hot and uncomfortable. Secondly, the lights in the swimming pool were not working. The pictures to promote the house show a beautifully lit up pool at night and we all hoped to enjoy swimming in the late evening which we still managed but it wasn't as nice as we would have hoped. Also there was damage to the first step into the pool and the owners had put 2 plastic chairs at each end of the step (in the water) and we were asked not to remove them, again the pictures of our younger kids sitting on these steps and playing as they have always done in these situations was the same picture as we would have hoped, Overall, a great stay but these few points were disappointing, and we had no word from Vrbo beforehand letting us know. Marc & Pascale are lovely hosts on hand if you need them.
